Kyle Tucker Home Run
FanDuel Logo

Kyle Tucker hasn't looked great this season, but these odds are far too high.

Opposing pitcher Sandy Alcantara is a bad matchup for righties, but he struggles much more with lefty power.

I make the fair odds on this home run prop around +475.

Pick: Kyle Tucker Home Run (+570)

Astros vs Orioles Home Run Picks

Yordan Alvarez Home Run
FanDuel Logo

I have no idea if this game will even play, but if it does, these odds are far too high.

Yordan Alvarez has been one of the best power hitters in the league this season, and the matchup is great.

Chris Bassitt has been a gas can for lefty power the last few seasons, and this ballpark is great for lefty power.

I make the fair odds on this home run prop around +275.

Pick: Yordan Alvarez Home Run (+310)

Rockies vs Reds Home Run Picks

Matt McLain Home Run
FanDuel Logo

Matt McLain isn't a huge power bat, but the odds and matchup are too good to pass up.

Opposing pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano is a gas can for power, and this ballpark is one of the best in the league for power.

I make the fair odds on this home run prop around +450.

Pick: Matt McLain Home Run (+540)

Tigers vs Braves Home Run Picks

Kevin McGonigle Home Run
BetMGM Logo

Kevin McGonigle gets a good spot, and these odds are a bit too high.

This ballpark is a plus, and the weather should be good for hitting, with the wind blowing out.

Opposing pitcher JR Ritchie grades out as a plus matchup for lefty power, and I make the fair odds on this home run prop around +500.

Pick: Kevin McGonigle Home Run (+600)
